MILTON, Mass. (AP) - A staff member at a children’s summer sports camp in Massachusetts has been charged with raping an adult counselor.
Mario Larrondo was held on $50,000 bail after pleading not guilty at his arraignment Thursday to aggravated rape.
Prosecutors say the 50-year-old Larrondo, a certified personal trainer from Tampa, Florida, got the alleged victim alone by asking her to do a workout and assaulted her even as she told him to stop. Both worked at MB Sports Camps at Curry College at Milton.
MB Sports Camps described Larrondo’s job as a “night patroller.”
The company said the “adult staff members are familiar with each other” and it is cooperating 100 percent with the investigation.
Larrondo’s attorney told WFXT-TV his client “absolutely” denies the charges.
Prosecutors say Larrondo is originally from Cuba.
